🚸 When you walk, bike, or drive to school, you’ll now see a crossing guard at the intersection of University Drive and Chapel Hill Road. The crossing guard will be there 6:45-8:15am and 1:45-3:15pm every school day to help people cross the street safely. DPS and the City of Durham identified this location as part of a 4-month pilot program to place crossing guards at new locations. To share your thoughts about the crossing guard program, please email hannah.salvaggio@durhamnc.gov and kristen_brookshire@dpsnc.net
Walking and biking to school has many benefits—it’s healthy, fun, and good for the environment. Plus, it can help build community and boost academic performance! The safest place to cross the street is at marked crosswalks and intersections—this is where drivers expect to see people crossing. The City of Durham recently re-painted the crosswalks near our school and reduced the speed limit for drivers during school arrival and dismissal times. Please model safe walking behavior for our students and cross the street using available crosswalks. 🚸
